Last Commented Nature Poems (1,977)

How those platoons of tulips
March in formation
Across the peoples lawns
Each flying their colors
Like pennants unfurled
Snapping around smartly
Just all plain or frilled
Striped and fully whorled
Just as the grass turns green
Greener then all the lush
Deep colors of the woods
Their pinks and reds
High on every mountain top
The spruce peaks point
To that sweet promise
That we call spring
Such as our minds play
Fanciful feats with flowers

the dark swam down from the ceiling.. to a world all studded with stars

and she turned the key in her pickup.. and drove home like all the rest of the cars

she waited for a noise like a phone ring.. to break up
all the stories in her mind

and the lights that stalled all her journey.. made her think for a second of the blind

now I walked up the hill by the dockyard.. because I saw
her name on the screen

just then a bird flew out
of a building.. and I forgot
about the ghost in the machine

and I'm far, far.. from mean

the cafe played songs from the sixties.. and the waitress had a smile like a dream

and she wrote down her number
on my napkin.. and I forgot
about the ghost in the machine

she hot showered alone in her apartment.. hearing lovers
wreck beds through the wall

and her mom rang to say that she loved her.. and she cried when she knew she was gone

see a memory's just a memory if you let it.. and your time is like a poem in your mind

but some of us just can't write a love song.. and for some there ain't no other kind

and I'm far, far.. from mean

I lit my cigarette with the lighter she bought me.. I felt no guilt although I knew that I should

and I finished my coffee around midnight.. to the strains of "johnny b goode"

see a marriage is just a marriage
if you let it.. and a promise is made a promise by time

through the years I've learned life
is a poem.. and some of us just don't want to rhyme

and I'm far, far.. from mean

Branches whispered
Winds helping with their message
"Apples are falling"

Sitting in my deckchair
taking in the warming air
Birds were singing love songs
I wondered then at mans wrongs
No no my thoughts should stay
with nature and trees and not stray
Spring pairings and new babes
Flower's peeping up in new shades
Man does not deserve a thought
He has since his time began, always fought
I should teach him to sit in my deckchair
and take in the warming spring air
Teach him how to buzz like the bees
and bend and sway like the trees
I laugh at thoughts crossing my mind
One day men will learn and be kind
Giving Mother Nature's survival a thought
For shes the one that's struggled and fought
Since the beginning of time, but now needs a hand
Or the earth shall shrivel , turning all to yellow sand

They're raking the tide
down on Autumn drive
men in the cool last light of Summer

They're burning the leaves
beneath the trees
the seasons spirit released

In Winter we shall find new desire
hidden beneath the deepest covers
and Spring shall rise to kiss the Earth again

There's nothing to write but write anyway
There's nothing to say but say anyway
There's nothing to do but do you know
The sun and the warm breeze know what to do
The sun arrived early this morning
The wind came by a little latter
I listen for awhile to their conversation
They seem to have known each other a long time
They didn't mind me being there
And now the sound of tires on a two lane highway
Someone out for a scenic drive
I'm taking slow sips from a glass of tea
Peering out from the shade of an umbrella
The sky seems to be a darker blue that way
Now that I've introduced you to my day
There are no actors here and what I stumble upon
Is that any other time this would be a boring day
But now I see there is something to write
There is something to say to do
A bird flew by and missed it's target
And so I'm finding this to be a perfect day
For the sun the wind and me

Spring sings a slow love song
There are blossoms on the trees
Oh my darling earth I love you like honey bees

Flowers are blooming
The grass is ready to mow
The love song of spring a waltz to dance away winter's snow

Eternal bliss is in the air
Tender green is a moment so rare
And the magic of butterflies is everywhere

Birds know the melody so just hum along
Sing in the key of love and you'll never get it wrong
Walk through april showers and your smile will go on and on

And when you go searching
There are wondrous things you will find
For the love song of spring has you and honey bees in mind

Caged in the house
Like a lonely princess
In the grim castle
I strain my ears to hear
“Knock, knock!”
Is he there yet?

Spring is going wild outside
Buzzing and blooming
A little bird
Keeps coming back
To knock on my window
And chirp

I do not know his language
But it sounds like
“Get out, stupid!”

The moon is slowly rising high
In the deep black velvet sky
Between the V of two stately trees
Its glorious Lunar light beckons me...

Crickets are chirping their nightly lullaby
Luring flickering fireflies to sleep
A beautiful evening such as this
Deserves to be a special memory to keep...

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The sun is lifting
Heavy burdens off my mind
My thoughts are drifting
Back a moment in time
Where sands are sifting
Back and forth with the tide
I am still searching
Where clues of life abides
My heart is open
Maybe for the first time
And all that I’m hoping
Watching my shadow mime
Dreams that are coming
Trying and keeping up
Letting things go
So the weight will fade away
Drift with the wind so
Off my shoulders behind me
Then I will know
How wonderful is life
The flowering blossoms
Opens up like a prize
Something so awesome
Right before my eyes
And my mood softens
Glancing into blue skies
